Merge M4A Files

Join iPhone voice memos, M4A songs and audiobook parts into one M4A - in order, with even volume and no dead air. Want a file for any player? Save as MP3, or convert later with M4A to MP3.

How to merge M4A files

  1. Add your M4A files. Drop two or more M4A files or voice memos into the box. AirDrop or email them from your iPhone first.
  2. Put them in order. Drag by the handle, use the arrows, or press A-Z - voice memos named by date sort correctly.
  3. Clean up. Turn on Even out loudness and Trim silence of each track for recordings made on the go.
  4. Merge. Keep M4A (or pick MP3) and press Merge. The merged file downloads right away.

Voice memos recorded at different distances from the phone? Turn on Even out loudness and every part ends up at the same volume.

Combine iPhone voice memos

The iPhone Voice Memos app saves every recording as its own M4A.

Share them to your computer (AirDrop, Files or email), drop them here, sort them and merge. With Trim silence of each track the quiet seconds before and after every memo disappear, and Even out loudness makes a whispered memo as loud as a shouted one.

Need to cut a part out of the result? The MP3 Cutter can save it as M4A again.

Where is the M4A made?

BrowserM4A (AAC) output
Chrome, Edge on Windows and MacIn your browser
Safari on Mac and iPhoneIn your browser
Firefox, Linux browsersOn our server (deleted right after)

Browsers with a built-in AAC encoder make the M4A themselves. Elsewhere your files are merged on our server with FFmpeg and removed right after - or pick MP3, which every browser makes on the device.

M4A, M4B and AAC

M4A and M4B are the same AAC audio in an MP4 file - M4B is just the name Apple uses for audiobooks.

  • Audiobooks - merge the parts back to back and rename the result to .m4b if your player wants that.
  • Songs - Match keeps the bitrate of your best track (usually 256 kbps from iTunes).
  • Podcasts - 96-128 kbps mono is plenty for speech.

Copy-protected iTunes songs (M4P) cannot be merged by any tool.
